1.  These Collection Services shall cover instruments (cheques / demand drafts / pay orders) favouring us / our company / firms and marked “A/c Payee only”, that are:

(a)  Locally payable at specified DBS branch locations

(b)  Locally payable at other specified locations

(d)  Outstation instruments payable at all locations other than (a), (b) and (c) above.

2.  Our current account maintained with DBS shall be the account (the “Concentration Account”) where the credits pertaining to these instruments would need to be made. Any change in the account by us shall be communicated by us to DBS in writing. DBS will credit the Concentration Account for the proceeds of all the instruments deposited by us with it (net of any returns received) and DBS shall not be required to check the authenticity, correctness or completeness of the instrument deposited, before such credit or sending the instruments for clearing.

3.  Until these instruments are deposited with DBS / their correspondent bank(s) and acknowledged as being received by an authorized signatory/ teller of DBS/ their correspondent bank(s) at the designated branch, the same shall be our sole and absolute responsibility.

4.  In consideration of the provision of Collection Services, DBS shall be entitled to debit the Concentration Account with such charges (the “Collection Service Charges”) and interest on the amount of the respective instruments at such rates as may be fixed by DBS from time to time, which shall be payable by me/us from the date on which the Concentration Account has been credited with the amount of the instrument and till the date of actual realization of the amount of the respective instrument by DBS, irrespective of the Concentration Account having a credit balance following credit of such instrument. The Collection Service Charges and interest shall be debited to the Concentration Account, at such time or times, as deemed fit by you and the cheque returns received subsequent to the credit will also be debited to the Concentration Account and such debits may result in the Concentration Account being overdrawn and/or have a negative balance.

6.  We further agree that DBS’s obligations for provision of the Collection Services will be subject to any occurrence resulting in prevention from or delay or interruption in performing its obligation if such prevention, delay or interruption is due to factors including but not limited to civil commotion, sabotage, lockout, strike or other labor disturbances of any kind or of the clearance of cheques or drafts, accident, fires, flood, explosion, epidemic, damage to DBS’ facilities or of the representative/ correspondent bank(s)/courier/third party, absence of the usual means of communication or all/any type(s) of transportation, or any other cause, whether of the same or of a different nature, unavoidable or beyond the control of DBS and DBS shall not be deemed to be in default so long as any such cause or the effect thereof persists and during a reasonable period thereafter.
